Another universal fact of working retail, in a chocolate stock the stock take gains a whole new aura of evil. 

Because the various displays around the shop mean that any given box can be found in about five different locations, not including the stockroom, and the fact that most of the boxes are almost identical, it's impossible to keep track of who has counted what and how many of anything there actually is. 

Add to this the hell that is checking the expiry dates of a few thousand bars of chocolate, and you'll be lucky to get home before midnight.

With a (nearly) useless degree in English literature and a personal trainer qualification he's never used, Freddie spends his times writing things that he hopes will somehow pay the rent. He's also a former professional singer, and plays the saxophone and ukulele. He's not really used to talking about himself in the third person, and would like to stop now, thanks.
